هدف مخطط
I would not necessarily call this an antonym. This is merely a contrasted term. Not every term has an antonym.
A target of opportunity is one that is not part of the original plan, but is taken because it presented itself as an irresistibly attractive opportunity, one that could not reasonably be passed up.
Contrasted with that are all the targets that are part of the original plan.

Other military equivalents
Greetings... taHaiya Tayyiba wa b3ad...
In addition to 'hadef muHadid" ( هدف محدد), as one poster kindly cited, some equivalents, as listed in some military dictionaries here, include ((the first item is from an Iraqi Armed Forces military dictionary):
o hadef mudabbir هدف مدبّر
o hadef mukhtaar هدف مختار
o hadef musejjil هدف مسجل
o hadef maqSood هدف مقصود
o hadef mu3ain هدف معيين
The proper term from this selection would largely depend on the context.
The military function called "targetting" includes analysis, evaluation, assessment and assignment, by priority of value and vulnerability, of objects as selected and listed targets.
HTH.
Khair, in sha' Allah.
